I was just invited by a friend to join your site. Sounds great! If only it worked... Frown

For my first bid attempt, I set a lead-time of 4 seconds. However, AS decided to snipe it 30 seconds early. This gave the previous high bidder plenty of extra time to put in a new bid, and win the auction back from me. That person didn‘t bid until AFTER the AS premature bid, so it‘s safe to assume that he/she would NOT have been able to, if this program worked like it was supposed to. Why even allow me to type in a Lead-Time, if you‘re not going to use it!?!

So I would describe my first Auction Sniper experience as "Infuriating"

If the following is the auction, then that statement has an element of accuracy: http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=110067143940
The winning bidder didn’t have time to “react”, but had time to “reacts”.

Don’t know why the typical response to this subject usually ends up in a discussion about how long it takes for another sniper to react. If someone asks for a 5-second lead-time, they shouldn’t get a 35-second lead-time, especially when ebay’s response time allows another bidder to place 3 snipes during that time.

Couldn’t agree more. If AS is going to adjust the lead-time, then why mislead the users into believing they have control.

Funny. Tends to happen in young male snipers.
